Sera's POVI had been hiding in the bedroom for what felt like hours.Through the keyhole, I could see the man Kade had left to guard me. Garrett.

Damon's POVMy wolf howled inside me, consumed by endless sorrow.The pain in my chest had faded to a dull ache, but the knowledge of what it meant remained, poisoning every thought, every breath. Sera was with Kade. Being touched by Kade. Suffering because of Kade.And I was powerless to stop it.

Damon's Point of ViewSera's hand trembled in mine as we approached the conference building."You don't have to do this," I said for what felt like the hundredth time. "You can wait in my office. Or go back to the villa with Giselle.""No." Her voice was steady despite the fear I could feel through
Sera's Point of ViewI clutched the small bakery box nervously as I approached my usual seat in the classroom. Holly sat there already, her back rigid, eyes focused determinedly on her textbook."Holly?" I set the box on her desk. "I brought you something. Your favorite—red velvet cupcakes from tha
Sera's Point of ViewI sat in the observation room, watching the meeting below through the one-way glass. My father's voice drifted up through the speakers, cold and authoritative as he argued for killing rogues on sight.The way he emphasized certain words, the way he looked directly at Damon—he s
